When faced with this kind of problem, it can drive me nuts trying to figure out how to enter and/or escape the offending file or directory's name. So I go for the non-minimalist totally overkill method ... and use lynx (comes with OpenBSD). With this you can quicky inspect the file contents, and tag ('t') and remove ('r') it. Gets you back to what you were working on quickly.
